.....The greatest changes occur in their country without their cooperation. They are not even aware of precisely what has taken place. They suspect it; they have heard of the event by chance. More than that, they are unconcerned with the fortunes of their village, the safety of their streets, the fate of their church and its vestry. They think that such things have nothing to do with them, that they belong to a powerful stranger called “the government.” They enjoy these goods as tenants, without a sense of ownership, and never give a thought to how they might be improved.....

artichokes and avacados...although i guess that's a fruit? no peas, and i can take or leave beans unless they are raw off the bush.

They look like "squash bees" (if they start robbing - 'squash' them). last year in my aforementioned failed garden I found one of these visiting my blossoms - not industrious enough for my liking. but out of curiosity I searched to see what natural pollinators would show up in the absence of my neighbor's honey bees. - it looks very similar anyway. why they want the propolis I couldn't say. :deadhorse:barf - puke- spew - vomit I'm a little perturbed by the terms but it's still very nice honey just the same.

I like Food, except for Squash and Sweet Taters or Yams. They both have a stringy texture that makes me thing of snotty flossing string. :imsorry:

Brussell Sprouts are delish just about anyway you want to fix them. Think of them as Popcorn cabbages to go along with the popcorn shrimp. I often saute them in a marianade or steam them. Steamed with a little butter, or a cream sauce...makes me hungry.

Brendhan, what cool bugs! Did you catch one? Poke it to see if it had a stinger or if it tried to bite? Did it use it's mandibles to gather the propolis? How bout the tongue, was it like a fly or a bee? I LOVE Brussels & artichokes, bokchoy, fresh off the vine green beans, peas raw from the shell not cooked...pretty much everything except avocados & Lima's. :-PAvocados remind me of squished tomato horn worms & Lima's have that liver type texture UGH! Today for the family dinner am making roasted yams w/spring onion, garlic & honey, asparagus & marinated cukes/tomatoes/spring onions! My brother got a smoker & is making ribs! YUMMMMMMM! J
